Diablo 4 looks like a game mainly created for consoles

General Discussion

So far what i have seen from game-play and based on my 20 years of gameing RPG/MMORPG games, Diablo 4 looks and feels like it`s a game firstly created for console, not a game for PC.

Again, you are making a HUGE MISTAKE by doing this.

If YOU are about to announce and create the biggest RPG game of all times, you must put in a lot of work for it (not that Blizzard don`t), but with this kind of approach it looks like you are trying to do 2 jobs in 1 strike.

This game MUST feel and MUST have a different game-play across all platforms.

This is not just me, and just my opinion, ive listen to Quin69 yesterday, he had the same impressions. Talked to my friends, they confirmed the same thing. Im not saying that you created first for console. But that is the feeling you are getting. Pls, take this in consideration. Maybe the map, and icons were getting that UI feeling. You need to do some testing on this.

Indeed. I play d3 on pc and ps4 with my gf all the time now, she LOVES the diablo series, just got her into it! Im so proud of her, lmao. But there are clear distinct UI differences in PC and console, well see how it goes!

That’s because it is. Why else do we have a limited toolkit of 6 buttons?

It’s also obvious based on the attack/defense itemization.

We can’t have depth itemization because the console players need to be able to see is it an attack or defense upgrade by seeing a green number comparison. If yes, swap item.

A SHOCKER, right? A game in 2019 is being created with the aim on console market that grows twice as fast as pc one.

The same thing that i`m talking about, D4 is a console based game. Not a PC game.

That one quote is from a big feedback post (3900 words) I wrote. You might find reading the other parts of it interesting too.

I tired my best to show the current problems in Diablo 4 and defend those underestimated by fans in-game systems.

Trance is nice, yes, I like it old-school:

Edit: Yes, MWNN classics.

Sorry, we’re not going to get the D2 style of depth and immersion ever again.

Console profits > Experience for the PC gamers

I have spent tons of hours playing D2. When D3 comes out and when i loged in, i was totally disappointed how my character moves around. The first thing i said was that this game is for console… this cant be real… (linear movement, map design, etc etc.)
So i suggest to blizzard to not make this mistake again. Please do’not ruin the game. I bet that they get the d3 engine and upgrade a little bit, and i think that they are doing same mistake again.
Blizzard should take this serious and mainly create the game for PC, than to work on console version. If this happened again games like Lost Ark will take their place by the time. Stop disappointing your audience, stop making mistakes…please take this serious.

The arpg experience on console is crazy fun. I haven’t played PoE on PC ever since that game got a ps4 version.

In fact, the first ARPG I ever finished was Diablo 1 on the Playstation

What’s wrong with console?

Even the so-called Diablo 2 spiritual successor has the console version.

It is Console version… not a single game for both PC and Console.

There is nothing wrong with console. Im not against D4 to have a console version. But im strongly against D4 to be first created for console and then adopted to PC. Diablo is a PC game. If Blizzard wanna take it to the “next” lvl then they are doing a sht things. The main audience of this game is PC gamers.
